BBC环球慢速英语 第12期:华雷斯的女性(2)

voice 1: Sadly, violence against women is common in many parts of the world. The World Health Organization says that up to fifty percent of women have experienced physical violence in their lifetime. Husbands, friends, and people the women knew well caused this violence.
声音1：不幸的是，针对妇女的暴力行为在世界上许多地方都很普遍。世界卫生组织表示，高达50%的女性在一生中遭遇过身体暴力。实施暴力的包括这些妇女的丈夫、朋友或是她们熟悉的人。

voice 2: Many people believe that these numbers are even higher in Cuidad Juarez and the nearby city of Chihuahua, Mexico. Amnesty International is a group that works to protect human rights. They claim that since 1993 almost four hundred women and girls have been murdered in Cuidad Juarez and Chihuahua. Some of the murdered women show signs of sexual abuse. And more than seventy women and girls are still missing.

voice 2: Many of these murders included similar details. Many of the murdered women were young. Many of them were tall and thin with long, dark hair. Many worked in factories. Often the murderers sexually attacked the women before killing them. The murderers buried many of these women in fields and deserts.
